Crumbs and Dogs



Ecclesiastes 7:1-14
Psalms 56, 57
Galatians 4:12-20
Matthew 15:21-28


Matthew 15:21-28

We ate fish yesterday. Fish is the dogs' favorite. They move from one to the other of us squeaking giving little wags of the tail and cocking their head on one side with a hint of a twitch of the ears. We are well practiced in eating our own food but Ernest and Windermere do not give up. There is always a faint chance that there might be a scrap left in the serving bowl or cooking pot that might just fall their way when we do the dishes. Persistence and optimism, a belief in a positive outcome, faith.
